    Jacqueline Chantal Fernández Andere (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃanˈtal anˈdeɾe], born January 25, 1972)[1] is a Mexican actress and singer, best known for her portrayal of antagonistic roles in multiple telenovelas.[2]

    Early life and career

    Andere was born to Mexican actress Jacqueline Andere (born 1938) and Argentine writer Jose Maria Fernandez Unsain (1918–1997) in Mexico City, Mexico.[1] As a child, she studied ballet and attended acting and singing classes. Her first professional acting role came in 1983 with Polo, Pelota Amarilla. After that, she began acting in theatre and then television. Though she saw no success, Chantal embarked on her singing career. Possessing a great voice, she recorded three albums for Discos Melody, beginning with her self-titled debut in 1990 which featured her songs "Regresa" and "Virginia", followed by another self-titled album in 1992 featuring "Entre Tú y Yo" and "Contigo el Amor es Mucho Mas", and finally in 1995 with her album Tentaciones.

    In 1994, Andere became popular for her character of Angélica Santibáñez, the main antagonist in Marimar, starring Thalía. Andere has played various types of villainess in numerous telenovelas produced by Televisa, including Dulce Desafío, Los Parientes Pobres, El noveno mandamiento, La usurpadora, Amor real, Barrera de Amor, Destilando Amor, Sortilegio, Rafaela, and La mujer del Vendaval. In 2021, she made her debut on Telemundo in the telenovela Parientes a la fuerza.

    In 2006, she also appeared in the singing competition Cantando por un sueño alongside her partner Gerardo Urquiza. In 2020, Andere participated in the reality-singing competition Tu cara me suena, a TV show based on the Your Face Sounds Familiar format.

    Personal life
